Final Images
Was driving around in santa clara late sunday nite. Went to the rivermark plaza to the ATM. It was closing time and the lights in the shops were switching off one by one. . Hmm.

Should have quit work earlier
There are a lot of personal-chores and I am not able to focus on the work-work. I could have quit earlier but for H1 reasons.
Anyways, Lingering list of problems on the personal front. I continue to think these will go away.
Reasons for going back to India are all intangibles. How do weigh them against well quantified things like money, better lifestyle. In the end, it is not a rational choice to go back. It is not the expectation that something will be different now than before. It is the hope that something will work out. It is the hope that we can increase the number of combinations of random incidents that takes us to a higher plane. A plane where we will find the fulfillment. That which is the reason for our Journey.

5 days to go!
Will I be able to sell all the things? I am getting ready to dump things. TV is not gone yet!
Sold the car. The guy paid me in cashier's cheque. Was a little concerned about the authenticity. I went to the bank to check this. The teller took the check inside and after 15 agonizing minutes, she came back smiling. :) It was an original one.
There are few more things to finish.

Countdown
I have blanked out on how life is going to be after I reach India. At this point, it is all about shipping/selling the stuff, cleaning the apartment, renting a house in Bangalore and so on. I am cutting everythign so close, I am a bit worried. We will see how things go.
Predominant thoughts are:
1. Buying a house and quickly settling down would be key to success in R2I. Healthy balance in lifestyle is needed.
2. I would feel a bit guilty if I live too luxioursly in a place surrounded by people with very limited resources. Everything I need, somethings that I want and love, Nothing I dont need.. thats what my Mantra should be to minimize my guilt.
Am attending multiple dinners this week to say good bye.
